Dilma Rousseff lights the Olympic torch.

President Dilma Rousseff lighted up the Olympic Torch in Brazil’s capital on 3rd of May 2016. It is not a simple torch guys, the flame of it inspires hope and excitement. On the other hand, it definitely boosts the ticket sales in the host country ahead of the Summer Games.

Ms. Rousseff explicitly said at the ceremony, “We are aware of the political difficulties in our country,” She added more at the presidential palace that could it be her last official Olympics-related event. Brazil will be able to welcome foreign athletes and visitors for the Olympics “even as it goes through a very difficult period, a critical period of our history,” That was a bit of an emotional part, we must say.
